    A lot of the conspiracy theories mention the "GOF Research" at WIV and how they made these scary recombinant viruses - but that work was in DeepThroat's lab, not at WIV - so maybe that's what they're pushing against.

    Yes, that's the one.

    Yeah, I think that's what they're saying - "we did stuff in bats, but the human conspiracy stuff isn't actually us".

    Agreed. And I believe them.
